Daniel works at a nearby electronics store. He makes a commission of 15%, percent on everything he sells. If he sells a laptop for 293.00$ how much money does Daniel make in commission?

Correct result:

x =  38.217 USD

Solution:

a+15/100a=293 a=293/(1+0.15)=586023≐254.7826 USD  x=293−a=293−254.7826=87923=38.217 USD
